00:00:00 Not far away, Kevin saw this scene, and a hint of admiration flashed across his eyes.
00:00:08 "Now that's a real man!"
00:00:12 Although he wasn't on good terms with Barry, he respected his behavior when in danger.
00:00:19 Since the experience of the Black Snake, Barry had never once thought of escaping.
00:00:25 His only thought was to protect Bianca and the numerous Oso family mercenaries.
00:00:31 Loyalty.
00:00:33 For this kind of person, even though he was an enemy, Kevin would still show him respect.
00:00:39 Kevin walked towards the Black Snake with his hands behind his back.
00:00:44 The four Bennett siblings were all extremely shocked.
00:00:48 "Kevin, what are you trying to do?"
00:00:51 "Snake slaying!"
00:00:53 Kevin replied without turning his head back.
00:00:56 "Snake slaying?"
00:00:59 The four Bennett siblings couldn't help but look at each other and see the look of shock
00:01:04 in each other's eyes.
00:01:06 The Black Snake had already displayed such powerful fighting strength, so why would Kevin
00:01:12 face it alone?
00:01:15 Everyone was running away except Kevin, who walked forward with his hands calmly behind
00:01:20 his back.
00:01:22 Amongst the crowd, his figure was very eye-catching.
00:01:25 "Hey, what are you doing?"
00:01:30 Everyone was astonished when he saw Kevin.
00:01:34 Bianca's face was also filled with disbelief.
00:01:38 Was Kevin going to sacrifice himself?
00:01:42 Could it be that he couldn't see that this Black Snake was an invincible beast compared
00:01:47 to the rest of them?
00:01:49 Kevin walked leisurely.
00:01:51 He quickly arrived in front of Barry.
00:01:55 Seeing Kevin, Barry's expression became strange.
00:01:58 "What are you doing?"
00:02:01 "Saving you," Kevin smiled faintly.
00:02:04 "Save me?"
00:02:07 Barry's tone froze, and he almost cursed Kevin for being stupid.
00:02:12 "Be careful."
00:02:16 At that moment, the Black Snake pounced over.
00:02:20 Barry's pupils constricted, and he subconsciously moved past Kevin to attack the Black Snake.
00:02:26 However, Kevin's speed was even faster than his.
00:02:31 Barry only saw a blur appear in front of him.
00:02:34 Then, he clenched his hand into a fist and punched the snake's head.
00:02:40 Bam!
00:02:42 A muffled sound rang out.
00:02:46 Kevin took a step back.
00:02:48 However, the Black Snake did not take advantage of the situation.
00:02:53 Instead, its head was raised high into the air, and it let out a mournful hiss.
00:03:00 This scene caused everyone to instantly gape with their mouths wide open, their eyes revealing
00:03:06 a look of disbelief.
00:03:09 The place where Kevin's iron fist hit the snake's head was bleeding.
00:03:14 This was the first time it was injured since coming out of the water.
00:03:19 How did Kevin do it?
00:03:22 One must know that even if the bullet hit the snake's head, it would only leave a white
00:03:27 mark.
00:03:28 But now, Kevin only used his fists to break the Black Snake's defenses.
00:03:36 It was simply unbelievable.
00:03:37 "You are a martial artist!"
00:03:41 Barry almost blurted it out, and he didn't hide the shock on his face.
00:03:47 Although he had already guessed that Kevin was a martial artist, he was still shocked
00:03:52 when Kevin displayed the strength of a martial artist.
00:03:56 In his mind, even if Kevin were a martial artist, he would only be at the middle stage
00:04:01 of Bright Force.
00:04:04 But now, the punch Kevin displayed had nothing to do with the middle stage, but had to be
00:04:09 at least stage Dark Force.
00:04:13 Even he couldn't compare to this kind of strength.
00:04:17 Kevin ignored Barry and looked at the Black Snake with interest.
00:04:22 He didn't know how long this Black Snake had lived in the Jade Spring, but it seemed to
00:04:26 have a faint trace of intelligence.
00:04:30 Its pair of dark green eyes stared at Kevin.
00:04:33 The fear in its eyes was very strong, just like a human's fear.
00:04:38 "Sword, come!"
00:04:40 Kevin stretched out his hand.
00:04:43 Dex took the sword off his back and threw it high into the air.
00:04:48 The long sword cut through the air and landed firmly in Kevin's hand.
00:04:53 With the sword in hand, Kevin was confident.
00:04:58 That punch of his just now had tested out the Black Serpent's approximate strength,
00:05:03 surpassing the latter stages of the Dark Force, and faintly approached the early period of
00:05:09 Converting Force stage.
00:05:12 It was slightly weaker than Kevin was, but because it was covered in scales, its defensive
00:05:18 power was extremely strong, and its strength was nearly at the level of the early period
00:05:24 of Converting Force stage.
00:05:27 If he were to use just his fists, he probably wouldn't be much of a match for the Black
00:05:31 Snake.
00:05:33 He had to borrow a sword.
00:05:36 The Black Snake moved almost at the same time Kevin grabbed the sword.
00:05:42 The Snake's body shot toward Kevin like a cannonball.
00:05:47 Kevin's expression did not change.
00:05:49 Instead, he lightly stomped his foot and leaped high into the air, dodging the unstoppable
00:05:55 attack of the Black Snake.
00:05:58 The Snake's body carried a great amount of force and collided with the huge rock that
00:06:03 Kevin was standing on.
00:06:05 Boom!
00:06:06 A loud crashing sound rang out.
00:06:10 The huge rock, the size of a car, exploded with a loud explosion, as if it had been hit
00:06:16 by a rocket.
00:06:19 The rock pieces flew in all directions.
00:06:21 Outside, Bianca's heart suddenly tightened before relaxing.
00:06:27 The four Bennett siblings also let out a sigh of relief.
00:06:31 They thought that Kevin wouldn't be able to dodge the attack from the Black Snake.
00:06:36 But Kevin looked very skilled in his current state.
00:06:40 One strike missed.
00:06:43 The fear in the Black Snake's eyes deepened, and there was even a hint of anger.
00:06:49 It stared at Kevin, its snake body constantly swaying on the ground, leaving behind a long
00:06:55 trail.
00:06:56 However, he didn't attack Kevin again.
00:07:01 It was as if he was waiting for Kevin to reveal an opening.
00:07:05 "Interesting," Kevin smiled.
00:07:09 This Black Snake had indeed developed a bit of intelligence.
00:07:14 Kevin's entire body relaxed as he deliberately left an opening.
00:07:19 In the next second, the Black Snake attacked like lightning.
00:07:23 It was earth-shattering.
00:07:26 Kevin's muscles instantly tensed up, and his expression became serious.
00:07:31 He gripped the sword in his hand tightly and circulated all the force in his body as he
00:07:36 rushed towards the sword.
00:07:39 The long sword cut through the air like a rainbow from heaven, slashing down at the
00:07:44 Black Snake.
00:07:46 It was light as a feather, but heavy as a mountain.
00:07:51 Swish!
00:07:53 The long sword cut into the snake's body, seven inches from its head.
00:07:59 It left a foot-long wound.
00:08:02 Fresh red snake blood spurted out, splashing high into the air.
00:08:08 Blood rained down from the sky, and the head of the Black Serpent was lifted high into
00:08:12 the air as it cried out in pain.
00:08:15 The entire audience went silent again.
00:08:18 He was hurt!
00:08:20 He was hurt again, badly!
00:08:24 If the first time Kevin injured the Black Snake could be explained with luck, then the
00:08:29 second time was not luck, but strength and skill.
00:08:34 Kevin landed steadily on the ground.
00:08:37 A trace of human-like fear appeared in the eyes of the Black Snake.
00:08:42 The body of the snake began to move toward Jade Spring.
00:08:46 "You want to run?"
00:08:48 Kevin sneered.
00:08:49 "It's not that easy."
00:08:53 Kevin took a step forward and ferociously stepped into the air.
00:08:58 He stood in the air as though there was an invisible staircase in front of him.
00:09:03 With every step Kevin took, his momentum increased.
00:09:08 First it was like a surging river.
00:09:11 Then it was like a tsunami.
00:09:14 When he arrived in front of the Black Snake, the world was already hanging upside down.
00:09:21 The fear in the eyes of the Black Serpent instantly intensified.
00:09:26 An unprecedented sense of life and death anger surrounded it.
00:09:30 At this moment, Kevin swung his sword.
00:09:35 The sharpness of the sword was unmatched and unrivaled.
00:09:39 When this sword slashed out, it seemed that even the heavens and earth could be cleaved
00:09:44 in half.
00:09:47 In front of everyone's eyes, there was an earth-shattering silver light.
00:09:52 This beam of light was like a long blade cutting through the water, easily cutting through
00:09:57 all obstructions.
00:10:00 It chopped towards the head of the Black Snake.
00:10:04 The snake's body was sliced in half as if Kevin were cutting a piece of paper.
00:10:09 The steel hard scales nor the tremendous size of the snake were no match for his blade or
00:10:15 his power.
00:10:18 The Black Snake let out an extremely mournful cry.
00:10:23 The snake's head slid down with the sword.
00:10:26 Blood gushed out from the snake's body.
00:10:29 The wound was as smooth and crisp as glass.
00:10:33 Boom!
00:10:35 The mountain-like head and the 50-foot tall body of the snake split apart in midair, smashing
00:10:41 toward the ground with a loud bang.
00:10:47 The snake's head hit the ground, causing dirt and dust to fly into the sky.
00:10:54 The snake's body fell into the water, causing a huge wave to surge onto the shore.
00:11:01 This huge black serpent, which had killed dozens of mercenaries and defeated a middle-period
00:11:06 dark force stage warrior with one move, was killed by Kevin's sword!
00:11:12 Rising into the air, he took three steps forward and slashed at the snake.
00:11:18 While the snake's blood rained down, Kevin held up his sword.
00:11:24 At that very moment, the demonic figure was imprinted into the minds of everyone present.
00:11:31 He would never forget it for the rest of his life.
00:11:35 Die!
00:11:37 Dead?
00:11:39 Barry's Adam's apple bopped up and down.
00:11:42 Until this moment, he still could not believe that the seemingly invincible Black Snake
00:11:47 would be killed with a single slash from Kevin.
00:11:51 "Kevin, he... is he still human?"
00:11:55 Atticus's eyes widened, and his face was filled with disbelief.
00:11:59 "A fifty foot long Black Snake, and Kevin was able to cut it down just like that?"
00:12:06 "How can you say that?"
00:12:10 Dex blared at Atticus in annoyance.
00:12:13 Although he knew that Atticus meant this out of good intentions, he still opened his mouth
00:12:18 a little.
00:12:19 "Haha, a slip of the tongue," Atticus smiled in embarrassment.
00:12:25 Was he acting too excited?
00:12:29 Dex sighed and didn't say anything.
00:12:31 However, his reverence for Kevin had reached an unprecedented level.
00:12:38 Without a doubt, Kevin was the strongest fighter he had ever met.
00:12:42 He was ridiculously strong.
00:12:46 Bianca's mouth was wide open at this moment.
00:12:48 Astonishment and disbelief were written all over her face.
00:12:53 She couldn't connect the friend-like figure in front of her with the young man roasting
00:12:58 rabbits at the top of the mountain.
00:13:01 When Barry fell to the ground, she was even prepared to die.
00:13:06 In her view, this Black Snake was simply a reproduction of the legendary horrific demons
00:13:12 from the past.
00:13:14 Unfortunately, it had long since surpassed the realm humans could deal with.
00:13:21 The Oso family had 20+ mercenaries who had shot several thousand bullets with their rifles,
00:13:29 but they couldn't even penetrate the Black Snake's scales.
00:13:33 Barry and Jared, the two middle-period Dark Horse stage warriors, could only barely break
00:13:39 the defense of the Black Serpent.
00:13:42 One could only imagine how powerful this Black Serpent was.
00:13:46 However, such a tyrannical Black Snake was cut down by Kevin with three steps in the
00:13:52 air.
00:13:53 It was an unprecedented shock.
00:13:58 Kevin was like a god that had descended from the heavens.
00:14:02 Bianca could not believe that Kevin had been able to defeat such an impossible foe against
00:14:07 the odds.
00:14:11 Bianca could not believe that Kevin had been able to defeat such an impossible foe against
00:14:16 all the odds.
00:14:17 In Bianca's heart, Kevin was truly a superman.
00:14:23 "Thank you, sir."
00:14:26 "Kevin, your saving grace is something that I will never forget.
00:14:31 If you have any use for me in the future, feel free to ask for it.
00:14:36 There is nothing I would not do to return the favor you have shown me."
00:14:40 Barry bowed deeply and said it loudly.
00:14:45 Although Kevin did not reveal everything he was capable of in this battle, anyone with
00:14:49 a discerning eye could tell that his realm had long since exceeded the level of Dark
00:14:54 Force's.
00:14:57 He was not at the level of transcending Dark Force, and that was strength conversion.
00:15:03 It also meant he was a martial arts master.
00:15:08 With Kevin achieving martial arts master at such a young age, Barry didn't know what
00:15:13 else to say.
00:15:15 Thinking of his previous contempt and hatred towards Kevin, Barry wanted to slap himself
00:15:21 twice.
00:15:23 Being a martial arts master, even one who was so young, demanded the respect of even
00:15:29 the Oso family.
00:15:32 Only Kevin was a forgiving person.
00:15:35 Otherwise, he would have long been buried in a snake's belly.
00:15:40 Kevin waved his hand disapprovingly.
00:15:43 To him, saving Barry was nothing more than business as usual.
00:15:49 Even without Barry, he could have killed this snake today.
00:15:53 "Kevin, there's nothing else in the water, right?"
00:15:58 This time, the four Bennett siblings walked over, and Atticus looked into the jade springs
00:16:04 with lingering fear.
00:16:07 If Kevin didn't remind them today, the four siblings would have been so silly that they
00:16:12 would have been swallowed into the snake's stomach before they could even see the face
00:16:16 of the snake.
00:16:18 Kevin shook his head and said with a smile, "No, you guys can go into the water to pick
00:16:25 the ice lotus now."
00:16:26 "Alright!"
00:16:29 Atticus was elated.
00:16:31 Without wearing a diving suit, he dove straight into the water.
00:16:35 "Barry, we'll take the ice lotus.
00:16:38 Do you have any objections?"
00:16:40 Dex turned his gaze to Barry and asked with a smile.
00:16:46 Barry hurriedly shook his head.
00:16:48 "No objections, no objections.
00:16:51 This ice lotus should be yours.
00:16:54 If it weren't for Kevin and his actions today, the ice lotus would still be at the bottom
00:16:58 of the jade spring and protected by the great snake.
00:17:02 Thank you, Kevin."
00:17:05 At this moment, Bianca also walked over and bowed deeply toward Kevin.
00:17:10 "You're welcome.
00:17:13 You're welcome."
00:17:15 Kevin slightly smiled at this young Oso family lady.
00:17:19 He did not have much hatred.
00:17:22 Although she was a little arrogant and dainty, her heart was very kind.
00:17:28 "Kevin, can you sell me your ice lotus?"
00:17:32 Bianca mustered up her courage to ask.
00:17:35 If she could avoid it, she wouldn't ask Kevin about it.
00:17:39 But her grandfather was too sick, and only a treasure like the ice lotus could save him.
00:17:46 Kevin frowned slightly.
00:17:48 Bianca's request made him feel troubled since the ice lotus was a highly valuable resource.
00:17:55 They only needed one stock of it for Bronin Clare, and although there was still one stock
00:18:00 left, this one could be used in the future.
00:18:04 "Kevin, I can pay a lot of money."
00:18:09 Bianca hurriedly said as if she was afraid that Kevin would refuse.
00:18:13 However, her tone was a bit timid.
00:18:17 To someone like Kevin, money didn't seem to mean much.
00:18:22 Kevin smiled bitterly.
00:18:23 "Miss Oso, it's not a matter of money."
00:18:29 "Huh?"
00:18:30 Bianca's mouth was agape.
00:18:31 "What was the problem if it wasn't money?"
00:18:35 "I can sell you the ice lotus."
00:18:39 Then after pondering for a moment, Kevin suddenly said, "But I have a condition."
00:18:45 "What is your condition?"
00:18:48 Seeing Kevin looking at her, Bianca couldn't help but blush slightly.
00:18:53 Kevin wouldn't want her to accompany him that way.
00:18:56 If he wanted that, would she agree to it?
00:19:00 Kevin didn't notice Bianca's blushing face and said, "I want the Oso family to owe me
00:19:06 a favor.
00:19:08 Whenever I need something in the future, the Oso family will have to help me."
00:19:13 The Oso family?
00:19:16 Bianca was slightly stunned.
00:19:19 When she saw that Kevin was serious, she realized that she was overthinking it.
00:19:25 For a moment, her face blushed even more.
00:19:28 "What do you say?"
00:19:30 Kevin asked.
00:19:32 "Uh, as long as you agree to sell the ice lotus to me, the Oso family can owe you one
00:19:38 favor."
00:19:40 Bianca said hurriedly.
00:19:41 "Can you represent the Oso family?"
00:19:45 He said to the Oso family, not Bianca.
00:19:48 There was a huge difference between the two of them.
00:19:52 One of them was one of the four great families of Santa Rosa with a fortune 500 to 600 billion,
00:20:00 possessing monstrous power and influence.
00:20:04 The other one was a young lady with only the Oso family name.
00:20:09 Although she possessed a decisive position within the Oso family, she was still a level
00:20:15 away from affecting the decisions that the Oso family made.
00:20:19 "It should be possible," Bianca was a little embarrassed since she did not know whether
00:20:25 Grandfather Oso would agree to grant him a favor.
00:20:29 After all, a favor from the Oso family could be big or small.
00:20:36 "Should?"
00:20:40 Kevin smiled bitterly.
00:20:42 It seemed like maybe Bianca, this little girl, still could not speak for the Oso family after
00:20:48 all.
00:20:49 "Kevin, I can go and speak directly with my grandfather.
00:20:54 He will agree."
00:20:57 Bianca looked at Kevin weakly.
00:21:00 Kevin shook his head and laughed.
00:21:02 "No need, Miss Oso.
00:21:05 Regardless of whether or not the Oso family agrees to my request, I will still sell this
00:21:10 ice lotus to you."
00:21:13 Compared to Kevin, even though the ice lotus was important, it wasn't irreplaceable.
00:21:20 On the contrary, Kevin was of vital importance and could prove to be an asset to the Oso
00:21:26 family.
00:21:27 "Thank you, Kevin."
00:21:30 Bianca's smile was like a flower.
00:21:33 She didn't expect Kevin to be so easy to talk to.
00:21:37 "Uncle Barry, what's the market price for the ice lotus?"
00:21:42 Bianca asked.
00:21:43 "About 1.5 billion."
00:21:47 After pondering for a moment, Barry reported a number.
00:21:51 "Ah!"
00:21:53 Bianca couldn't help but exclaim, "1.5 billion?
00:21:57 Why was it so expensive?"
00:22:00 "Miss, treasures like the ice lotus are incredibly rare and nearly unattainable."
00:22:06 "A few years ago, at an international auction held on the Montelena cruise ship in France,
00:22:13 an ice lotus was sold for 1.3 billion dollars."
00:22:16 "Now that a few years have passed, the market price for the ice lotus would be even higher."
00:22:23 Barry smiled bitterly.
00:22:26 He knew that Bianca didn't have that much money.
00:22:29 "Kevin, I only have 500 million on me right now.
00:22:34 As for the remaining 1 billion, can I pay it back within three years?"
00:22:40 Bianca glanced at Kevin awkwardly as she spoke.
00:22:45 She indeed didn't have that much money.
00:22:48 Even though she was the little princess of the Oso family and had an important position,
00:22:53 she didn't put much effort into managing the few companies under her name.
00:22:59 She only earned 2 or 300 million every year at most.
00:23:04 "No need to write me IOUs.
00:23:07 I'll sell you the ice lotus for 500 million."
00:23:11 Kevin smiled and said.
00:23:13 "1 billion might be a lot, but he wasn't lacking in money.
00:23:19 It would be better for him to go with the flow and accept Bianca's offer."
00:23:24 "500 million?"
00:23:28 Bianca was dumbfounded.
00:23:30 Was there anyone who sold things like Kevin?
00:23:33 The other sellers were afraid that their products would not sell at a high enough price.
00:23:39 But Kevin was the exception.
00:23:41 1 billion less.
00:23:44 A billion dollars, not 10.
00:23:49 Even if it was within the Oso family, a billion was still not a small number.
00:23:54 "No, no."
00:23:56 Bianca quickly waved her hand and said with a flushed face.
00:24:00 "I am already grateful to you for agreeing to sell the ice lotus in the first place.
00:24:06 How can I take advantage of you this way?
00:24:09 It's only 1.5 billion, and the remaining 1 billion will be paid within the next three
00:24:14 years."
00:24:16 Seeing Bianca's firm expression, Kevin nodded helplessly.
00:24:20 "Alright, then I won't be polite."
00:24:26 A smile finally appeared on Bianca's face.
00:24:30 "Dex, get Jared, River, and a few other brothers to bring this black snake back."
00:24:37 Kevin shifted his gaze towards Dex.
00:24:41 The biggest gain from this trip to Beverly Hills was not the ice lotus, but rather the
00:24:46 black python in front of him.
00:24:49 To be exact, it was the corpse of the black snake.
00:24:54 Judging from its size, it must have a lifespan of over 200 years.
00:25:00 200 years.
00:25:02 How amazing is that?
00:25:05 Even if it were a pig, after living for 200 years, it would still become a remarkable
00:25:11 pig.
00:25:12 What's more, it was a black snake that could absorb the essence of the sun and the
00:25:18 moon.
00:25:20 Within 200 years, the black snake had evolved into a different species.
00:25:26 Its scales were invulnerable to weapons.
00:25:29 If it were made into an inner armor, its defensive capabilities would be superior to even the
00:25:34 most advanced bulletproof vest in the world.
00:25:39 In addition to its scales, the gall of this snake was a rare treasure.
00:25:45 Ordinary people would only need to swallow a little bit of it to extend their lifespan
00:25:49 and make them immune to poisons.
00:25:53 Combined with the ice lotus, it would be extremely beneficial, even if it was for a warrior.
00:26:00 In short, the entire body of this black snake was valuable and filled with treasures and
00:26:07 may even be more beneficial than the three ice lotus.
00:26:11 A few minutes later, Atticus came out of the water with three snow white lotuses in his
00:26:17 hands.
00:26:18 It was the ice lotus.
00:26:20 "Kevin, I found it!"
00:26:24 The ice lotus was the bane of all fire poison.
00:26:28 However, if there was an ice lotus, then bronze fire poison could be cured quickly.
00:26:34 "Put it on."
00:26:37 Kevin smiled and allowed Dex to take out the jade box he had prepared a long time ago.
00:26:43 He then divided the three ice lotus and gave one to Bianca for the box.
00:26:49 After thinking them repeatedly, Bianca brought everyone down the mountain.
00:26:55 Three hours later, Jared and River arrived with dozens of men.
00:27:01 When they saw the mountainous corpse of the black snake, everyone was instantly petrified.
00:27:07 The shock on their faces could not be ignored.
00:27:12 While Jared and River stood shocked and gazing at the snake's body, a white private jet landed
00:27:18 on Sacramento's runway.
00:27:21 The cabin door opened, revealing a tall woman wearing black sunglasses and a short black
00:27:27 skirt and stockings.
00:27:30 The woman's skin was translucent like jade, and her oval face was as exquisite as if the
00:27:36 sculptor himself had carved it.
00:27:39 In addition to her beautiful face, the woman's figure was also exquisite, with extremely
00:27:46 tempting curves.
00:27:48 After getting off the plane, the woman took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of long,
00:27:54 narrow beautiful eyes.
00:27:57 At this moment, those brilliant eyes were filled with hatred.
00:28:02 "Where is that creep now?"
00:28:05 The woman spoke coldly with a tone that didn't contain a shred of kindness.
00:28:10 "Miss, he went to Beverly Hills early this morning and hasn't returned yet."
00:28:17 A man in a black suit with headphones replied respectfully.
00:28:20 "Go to his house and wait for him."
00:28:25 The woman's lips curled up into a sneer, and everyone got into a waiting Rolls Royce.
00:28:32 At this moment, Eileen was cooking in the kitchen, chopping vegetables and cheerfully
00:28:38 humming to herself.
00:28:40 She was obviously in a good mood.
00:28:43 Eileen had maintained this feeling ever since she had moved into Beverly Hills.
00:28:49 Despite the envious gaze of outsiders, it wasn't hard to notice that she, Eileen, had
00:28:55 become a person of high status, and had stepped into the upper class.
00:29:01 The neighbors who had previously mocked her were now all respectful when they saw her,
00:29:06 calling her "Madam" or "Lady."
00:29:10 Eileen felt that her life had reached its peak.
00:29:13 Just then, a burst of intense knocking sounds came from the front door.
00:29:18 "Coming, coming!"
00:29:23 Eileen yelled as she put down the kitchen knife in her hand and walked towards the door.
00:29:28 The person at the door seemed to be a bit impatient as he increased the knocking level
00:29:32 again.
00:29:35 This time, Eileen could not hold it in any longer.
00:29:39 She raised her voice and cursed loudly.
00:29:42 "I'm coming already!
00:29:44 If you knock down my door, you'll be in serious trouble!"
00:29:48 Bang!
00:29:50 As soon as the irritating words left her mouth, the wooden door was kicked open and torn apart,
00:29:57 sending wood chips flying everywhere.
00:30:01 Eileen's eyes widened in anger.
00:30:05 "Thump!
00:30:06 Thump!
00:30:08 Thump!"
00:30:09 She stormed over to the door and was about to curse out loud, but instead, she was met
00:30:14 with a cold and emotionless gaze that stopped her in her tracks.
00:30:27 Eileen instantly lost her voice, as if someone had grabbed her by the throat.
00:30:34 She was so shocked that she swallowed the words she had wanted to say.
00:30:39 "Who are you?
00:30:41 Why did you kick in my door?"
00:30:44 Eileen asked as she struggled to suppress her anger.
00:30:48 She could tell these visitors were not ordinary people, so she controlled her angry outburst.
00:30:56 The tall, slender woman in the doorway was dressed in chic, costly designer clothing.
00:31:03 Behind her followed an older man in a white suit.
00:31:07 Although he was squinting his eyes, it was clear he was not someone to be trifled with.
00:31:13 There were also three bodyguards in black suits.
00:31:16 Eileen did not dare show her anger based on the stern look on their faces.
00:31:21 "You are not important enough to know my name," the tall lady said with a proud expression
00:31:29 on her face.
00:31:31 A trace of embarrassment flashed across Eileen's face.
00:31:35 This woman was unbelievably pretentious.
00:31:38 "What about the bastard?" the tall woman scanned the living room and didn't see Kevin.
00:31:46 "Who are you calling a bastard?
00:31:49 All my family members have proper names, and none is illegitimate."
00:31:55 Eileen frowned as she couldn't take it anymore.
00:31:59 This stranger had destroyed the recently renovated door of her home, and she hadn't even said
00:32:05 a word.
00:32:07 Did she think she was so easy to bully?
00:32:11 The woman frowned.
00:32:13 "You dare to talk back?"
00:32:16 "I..."
00:32:18 Eileen glared at her.
00:32:21 She wanted to curse out loud, but when she met her cold gaze, she was instantly terrified.
00:32:28 Her tone immediately softened.
00:32:30 "I didn't retort.
00:32:33 You misunderstood."
00:32:34 "Misunderstand?" the tall woman sneered.
00:32:39 "I believe it's you who misunderstands.
00:32:44 Tell me at once, where is that bastard?"
00:32:48 "Kevin?
00:32:50 The bastard you talk about is Kevin."
00:32:54 Deborah had hated Kevin since she was young.
00:32:57 She hated him so much that she refused to call him by his name.
00:33:03 Eileen finally understood.
00:33:05 "Are you talking about that trash?
00:33:09 He's not home right now," Eileen said happily.
00:33:13 The tall woman before her was here to cause trouble with Kevin.
00:33:18 The enemy of her enemy was her friend.
00:33:23 Eileen's attitude immediately became enthusiastic, and even how she looked at Deborah became
00:33:28 much more pleasant.
00:33:30 "When will he be back?"
00:33:34 Eileen's reaction made it not hard to tell that the rumors inside the Bennett family
00:33:39 were true.
00:33:41 In the three years that Kevin had been a son-in-law in the Wright family, he was treated worse
00:33:47 than a pig or a dog.
00:33:50 He was despised by the people of the Wright family, especially his mother-in-law, Eileen.
00:33:56 "I don't know, but ma'am, if you need anything, I can call him back."
00:34:02 Recently, Kevin had caused her quite a bit of embarrassment and even slapped her a few
00:34:09 days ago.
00:34:11 She had wanted to take her revenge, and today she was going to use this woman to deal with
00:34:17 Kevin.
00:34:18 "Call him!
00:34:19 Tell him to come back here immediately!"
00:34:25 A cold light flashed through Deborah's eyes.
00:34:29 Eileen smiled as she took out her phone.
00:34:32 A cold voice came behind her.
00:34:35 "Don't you dare call him!"
00:34:38 It was Claire.
00:34:41 Deborah shifted her gaze to Claire.
00:34:44 She smiled playfully.
00:34:45 "You're the bastard's wife!
00:34:49 Watch your mouth!"
00:34:51 Claire's face turned cold.
00:34:54 Although there was a rift between her and Kevin, she definitely wouldn't allow anyone
00:34:58 to insult Kevin in front of her.
00:35:01 Deborah didn't mind.
00:35:03 She took two steps forward and stood in front of Claire, mocking her.
00:35:07 "What if I don't?
00:35:11 I'll call him whatever I like.
00:35:14 What are you going to do about it?"
00:35:19 Claire's beautiful eyes turned cold.
00:35:23 She raised her hand, preparing to slap Deborah.
00:35:26 However, Deborah was faster.
00:35:32 After a clear and melodious sound, Claire was slapped down to the ground.
00:35:37 A blood-red handprint appeared on her fair and charming face, and traces of blood flowed
00:35:44 out from the corners of her mouth.
00:35:46 "Stupid girl!
00:35:48 You sure are protective of that bastard!"
00:35:52 Deborah sneered.
00:35:55 Claire's reaction had surprised even her.
00:35:59 However, Claire held Kevin in such high regard that she would always defend him and his honor,
00:36:06 no matter who pitted her against him.
00:36:10 He was so noble that he couldn't be insulted.
00:36:13 It could only be said that Kevin held a sacred space in Claire's heart.
00:36:19 "Eileen, are there any guests?"
00:36:22 At this moment, Alan came out of the bedroom with sleepy eyes.
00:36:26 When he saw the scene in the living room, his expression immediately changed.
00:36:31 "Who are you?
00:36:33 Why did you hit my daughter?"
00:36:36 Alan immediately shifted his gaze to Deborah.
00:36:40 "Your daughter?"
00:36:43 Deborah glanced at Alan with a cold smile, and slapped Claire's face again.
00:36:48 "I hit her because she deserves a beating!"
00:36:54 "You're playing with fire!"
00:36:57 Alan was furious.
00:36:58 He picked up the bench on the floor and pounced on Deborah.
00:37:02 "No!"
00:37:04 Eileen was shocked.
00:37:06 Just as she wanted to stop Alan, Deborah's bodyguard leapt high into the air and lashed
00:37:12 out with a kick aimed at Alan's nose.
00:37:16 A loud cracking sound rang out in the room.
00:37:20 Alan flew backwards and smashed into the hallway.
00:37:24 His nose was broken instantly, and blood gushed like a spring.
00:37:29 "Who are you to come into my house and assault me?
00:37:33 Aren't there still laws?"
00:37:37 Eileen was getting angrier and angrier all the time.
00:37:40 "Laws?" the bodyguard that had attacked Alan sneered.
00:37:46 "This woman and her family are above the law."
00:37:50 "Mom, call the police!"
00:37:54 Claire gritted her teeth.
00:37:55 The arrogance of these people was beyond her imagination.
00:37:59 "Call the police!"
00:38:02 "Be my guest.
00:38:05 I want to see what kind of police officer dares to arrest me!
00:38:10 Deborah Bennet!"
00:38:13 Deborah sneered again and looked highly arrogant.
00:38:16 "Deborah Bennet?"
00:38:19 Claire's pupils constricted as shock swept across her body.
00:38:24 "It's someone from the Bennet family!"
00:38:27 "Alright, just wait.
00:38:30 I'll report this!"
00:38:32 Eileen was infuriated.
00:38:34 She did not believe that this so-called all-important Deborah Bennet was so powerful that she could
00:38:40 disregard the police.
00:38:43 Deborah's expression was relaxed and casual.
00:38:47 She did not register Eileen's threat at all.
00:38:51 Even if the head of Sacramento, Lester Miller, came and saw her face, he would still respectfully
00:38:58 call her Ms. Bennet, let alone a few measly police officers.
00:39:03 "Mom, there's no need to call."
00:39:06 If it was someone from the Bennet family, calling the police would be useless.
00:39:11 "You don't want to report this?
00:39:14 Why not?"
00:39:15 Eileen's eyes widened in confusion.
00:39:18 "No reason."
00:39:20 Claire took a deep breath and looked back at Deborah.
00:39:24 "Why are you looking for Kevin?"
00:39:27 "You have no right to know."
00:39:30 Deborah glanced at Claire in disdain.
00:39:33 Although Claire was Kevin's wife, in the eyes of the Bennet family, Claire's status was
00:39:39 about the same as the servants'.
00:39:42 After glancing at Claire once more, Deborah spoke with a cold voice.
00:39:47 "Listen, girl.
00:39:49 If you know what's good for you, then you'll call the piece of trash as soon as possible.
00:39:56 I'll give you ten seconds.
00:39:58 In ten seconds, if you don't obey, I'll break one of your legs."
00:40:05 "I'll call."
00:40:11 Claire took a deep breath.
00:40:13 "At least you're sensible."
00:40:17 Deborah's face broke into a smile.
00:40:20 She thought that Claire was some pure and innocent woman, but she only needed to frighten
00:40:26 her a little to reveal her true colors.
00:40:29 Claire took out her cell phone and dialed Kevin's number.
00:40:33 At that moment, Kevin was on his way down the mountain.
00:40:38 Seeing that the call was from Claire, a hint of happiness appeared on Kevin's face.
00:40:44 This was the first time she had called him in the past few days.
00:40:49 He answered the phone, and an emotionless voice came out the phone.
00:40:54 "Kevin, let's get divorced.
00:40:56 Don't come to my house again."
00:40:58 Click.
00:41:00 The call ended, and the line went dead.
00:41:04 Kevin was not even given the slightest chance to react.
00:41:09 Divorce?
00:41:11 Kevin's heart tightened.
00:41:14 What did Claire mean by this?
00:41:17 Was this the decision she had made after thinking it over?
00:41:21 After Claire hung up the phone, a smacking sound rang out.
00:41:26 Deborah had slapped Claire hard in the face, sending her flying and crashing into the wall
00:41:32 where she spit blood.
00:41:35 "Idiot!"
00:41:37 Deborah gritted her teeth as her face turned blood red.
00:41:41 It was obvious that she was not furious.
00:41:44 She didn't expect Claire to defy her.
00:41:48 "Sorry to disappoint you," the corner of Claire's mouth curved into a bitter smile.
00:41:55 Without a doubt, Deborah came to start a war with Kevin.
00:42:00 In the past, whenever Claire met someone who wanted to cause trouble,
00:42:05 she always chose to believe Kevin.
00:42:09 She had absolute confidence in him, but this time, the troublemaker was from his own family.
00:42:16 The Bennett family that stood at the peak of the United States of America!
00:42:22 Deborah came in full fury and was so overpowering that it was clear she was confident in her ability to deal with Kevin.
00:42:31 So, Claire's first thought was not to let Deborah and Kevin meet.
00:42:37 This was partly because the white-robed older man behind Deborah was not a normal older man.
00:42:44 If Kevin rashly came over, who knows what would happen.
00:42:49 "Disappointed?" Deborah gritted her teeth and suddenly let out an evil laugh.
00:42:56 "No, I'm not disappointed. I'm not disappointed at all!"
00:43:02 "You have successfully ignited my anger, so why should I be disappointed?"
00:43:12 "Since you love that bastard so much, I presume that bastard also loves you."
00:43:19 "If that bastard saw me flaying you, what do you think his reaction would be?"
00:43:26 Deborah's smile was ferocious, making everyone shudder in fear.
00:43:32 Claire's pretty face changed. It was clear that Deborah intended to torture her.
00:43:39 "Tie her up!" Deborah ordered with an evil grin.
00:43:44 "Yes, miss." The two bodyguards respectfully nodded and swiftly came over to Claire.
00:43:52 It took no effort at all to tie her up.
00:43:56 Just then, Deborah pulled a short dagger out from her waist and walked in front of Claire.
00:44:03 "What are you doing?"
00:44:05 Claire gritted her teeth and met Deborah's gaze without fear.
00:44:10 "What does it look like I'm doing?" Deborah smiled mockingly.
00:44:15 "I want to try out the edge of my dagger and see how sharp it is."
00:44:22 "Don't touch my daughter! If you have a problem with anyone, let it be with me!"
00:44:29 Alan's eyes were bloodshot. He wanted to kill Deborah.
00:44:35 "Smash this old thing's mouth! Let's see if he's going to make a ruckus!"
00:44:41 Deborah looked coldly at Alan.
00:44:44 "Yes, miss."
00:44:46 The bodyguard in the black suit moved as he was ordered.
00:44:50 He grabbed Alan's collar and slapped him a few times in the face.
00:44:55 "Stop! Stop!"
00:44:58 With a plop, Eileen fell to her knees, begging and crying.
00:45:03 "Miss Bennett, please stop this. I'll call that trash right now and tell him to get back here immediately."
00:45:13 As Eileen spoke, she took out her cell phone and prepared to call Kevin while trembling.
00:45:20 Unexpectedly, Deborah sent the phone flying with a slap.
00:45:25 Then, with a sneer on her face, she said,
00:45:29 "Now you want to call that bastard? Too late!"
00:45:36 "Wait for me to finish taking care of this girl first!"
00:45:42 Within the Bennett family, the one Kevin talked about the most was Claire.
00:45:47 She knew how important Claire was to Kevin, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Claire was Kevin's better half.
00:45:56 Every slash she made on Claire's body was equivalent to cutting Kevin's heart.
00:46:02 It would make him wish he was dead.
00:46:05 She was looking forward to Kevin's expression when he returned home and saw his wife bleeding and covered in wounds.
00:46:13 It would be amazing.
00:46:17 Deborah licked her lips as a perverted smile appeared on her face.
00:46:22 "Do you think I should cut off your pretty face first, or a piece of flesh from your body?"
00:46:31 Deborah's dagger gently sliced through Claire's pink neck.
00:46:36 The smile on her face sent chills down one's spine.
00:46:40 "If you have the stomach for it, then just kill me!" Claire shouted angrily.
00:46:46 "Kill you? No, no, no!
00:46:52 You're such an entertaining toy, but I haven't had enough fun.
00:46:58 How can I kill you already?
00:47:02 If you want to die, you have to do it in front of that bastard!"
00:47:08 At the mention of Kevin, Deborah gritted her teeth once more.
00:47:14 Her voice was as vicious as a demon's.
00:47:18 "What sort of animosity does Kevin have with you?" Claire trembled in anger.
00:47:24 She did not understand how Deborah could have such hatred for Kevin,
00:47:29 and wanted to use this crazy method to get revenge on him.
00:47:34 "Hatred? Ahahaha!" Deborah suddenly burst into laughter.
00:47:42 Then she abruptly retracted her smile.
00:47:45 "You're thinking too much.
00:47:48 There's no animosity between me and that bastard.
00:47:52 I've only targeted him because I don't like him.
00:47:57 If there's no need to talk about revenge,
00:48:00 it's that bastard's fault for not knowing his place.
00:48:05 A dog should be a dog.
00:48:08 It shouldn't try to be anything different."
00:48:11 Deborah's words were ambiguous,
00:48:14 but Claire understood some of the hidden meaning behind them.
00:48:18 Deborah wanted to torment Kevin because of Kevin's identity as heir of the Bennett family.
00:48:25 "Bitch, your face is so beautiful.
00:48:30 If I cut it open, that bastard would go crazy, right?"
00:48:35 Deborah licked her lips before turning her gaze to Claire's beautiful face,
00:48:40 which was as warm as jade.
00:48:43 As a woman, she knew very well how important looks were to a woman.
00:48:48 If she ruined Claire's face, Kevin would probably be violently ill with rage.
00:48:55 Claire's pretty face slightly changed.
00:48:59 She forced herself to remain calm and unthreatened.
00:49:03 "You'd better not do anything reckless. Kevin will kill you!"
00:49:08 "Kill me?" Deborah sneered.
00:49:11 "Woman, are you kidding me?
00:49:15 Do you know who I am?
00:49:18 If that bastard dares to kill me,
00:49:22 not only will he die,
00:49:25 but so will you and your entire family."
00:49:29 Kevin was an illegitimate child.
00:49:37 An illegitimate child who could never obtain the approval of the Bennett family,
00:49:42 nor see the light of day.
00:49:44 When Harvey announced two months ago that someone else was to be the heir of the Bennett family,
00:49:49 no one put together the actual reason why.
00:49:52 Everyone was clear that the identity of this heir was just a pretense.
00:49:57 But once Kevin lost his value,
00:50:00 his position in the Bennett family would not even be comparable to a dog.
00:50:05 At that time, anyone could step on him.
00:50:09 Deborah's words caused Claire's heart to tighten.
00:50:12 She didn't think that the situation within the Bennett family would become so complicated.
00:50:18 Kevin was the true successor of the Bennett family.
00:50:21 But now, anyone within the Bennett family could step on Kevin's head.
00:50:27 "Are you afraid?
00:50:29 If you're scared, then beg me for mercy,
00:50:33 and beg me to let you go."
00:50:35 Seeing that Claire's pretty face had started to turn pale,
00:50:39 Deborah couldn't help but feel even more proud of herself.
00:50:43 "Get out of my face!"
00:50:45 Claire looked at Deborah in disgust.
00:50:49 She wouldn't sink to the level of this crazy woman,
00:50:52 even if she were beaten to death.
00:50:55 "You still dare to be stubborn?"
00:50:58 Deborah's face turned cold.
00:51:00 "Are you not afraid that I'll kill you?"
00:51:04 "Why should I be afraid?" Claire sneered.
00:51:07 "If you were going to kill me, you would have done it long ago.
00:51:12 You wouldn't have wasted time and run your mouth so much."
00:51:16 "Good, good! Alright!"
00:51:20 Deborah's blood boiled in anger.
00:51:23 "So, you say you're not afraid?
00:51:26 We'll see about that."
00:51:29 A trace of malevolence flashed across Deborah's face.
00:51:34 As she spoke, she gripped the dagger in her hand
00:51:38 and stabbed downwards viciously at the back of Claire's hand.
00:51:42 Blood splattered as the dag pierced her hand.
00:51:46 The intense pain caused Claire to scream uncontrollably, sweating profusely.
00:51:52 "Does it hurt?"
00:51:54 Deborah gained malicious pleasure by hurting Claire.
00:51:58 Claire glared at Deborah without a word.
00:52:01 Deborah raised an eyebrow.
00:52:03 "No. Seems like I'm still too merciful."
00:52:08 Deborah sighed and stirred the dagger in her hand deeper into Claire's flesh,
00:52:13 causing even more blood to flow out.
00:52:17 Claire screamed in pain, her pretty face as pale as a sheet of paper.
00:52:23 "Let go of my daughter!"
00:52:26 Just then, Eileen screamed and rushed over hysterically.
00:52:31 But before she could reach Deborah,
00:52:33 a bodyguard in a black suit grabbed her by the hair
00:52:36 and crushed his knee into her lower abdomen.
00:52:40 After a muffled groan, Eileen curled up and fell to the ground.
00:52:45 "Still not begging for mercy?"
00:52:48 Deborah looked at Claire with a cold smile.
00:52:52 "Madam, if you have the stomach for it, then kill me."
00:52:57 Claire smiled bitterly and weakly.
00:53:00 "Kill you? Where am I supposed to find another fun toy if I kill you?"
00:53:08 Deborah shouted.
00:53:10 As she spoke, she pulled out the dagger that had been lodged into Claire's hand
00:53:15 and viciously stabbed it into Claire's other hand.
00:53:18 Claire groaned.
00:53:20 Her delicate body could not help but tremble.
00:53:23 "Beg me. Beg me and I'll forgive you."
00:53:29 Deborah looked at Claire with a savage expression.
00:53:32 She didn't believe that there would be a woman as brutal as this one in the world.
00:53:37 "Go away!"
00:53:39 Claire moaned in pain as she cursed in rage,
00:53:43 a bone-biting hatred emitting from her eyes.
00:53:46 "Go away."
00:53:48 Deborah's face darkened once again as she smiled as if challenged.
00:53:53 "I have to admit, you are tougher than I expected."
00:53:58 "Then again, I like a challenge like you."
00:54:03 With that, she rotated the dagger in Claire's hand again.
00:54:07 The intense pain caused the veins in Claire's forehead to bulge,
00:54:11 and she almost fainted.
00:54:13 "That's it?"
00:54:16 "Need to do something more spiteful."
00:54:19 Deborah scolded with some annoyance.
00:54:21 She pulled out her dagger, glanced at Eileen, and said with disgust.
00:54:26 "Call that bastard and have him rush over in ten minutes.
00:54:32 If you delay by even one minute, I'll chop off one of her fingers."
00:54:37 Eileen's hands were trembling as she hurriedly dialed Kevin's number.
00:54:43 "Damn you, get back here right now.
00:54:47 Claire is going to be tortured to death!"
00:54:50 Eileen cried and howled.
00:54:52 "What?"
00:54:54 Kevin was shocked as if he had been struck by lightning.
00:54:58 At that moment, Deborah's sneering voice came over the phone.
00:55:02 "You bastard, I'll give you ten minutes.
00:55:05 If you aren't here within ten minutes, I'll chop off her fingers one by one."
00:55:10 "Deborah!"
00:55:13 Kevin's expression changed dramatically.
00:55:16 He never thought that Deborah would dare come to Sacramento, knowing the consequences.
00:55:22 Deborah hung up the phone without waiting for Kevin to speak.
00:55:26 A wave of unprecedented anger instantly surged into Kevin's chest.
00:55:31 He felt like he was about to explode.
00:55:34 "Kevin, what's wrong?" Dex asked wordly.
00:55:39 Kevin didn't say a word but kicked the truck's door open and ran to the bottom of the mountain as fast as he could.
00:55:47 "Do you think that bastard can get here in ten minutes?" Deborah asked casually as she wiped the blood off the dagger.
00:55:57 Claire opened her eyes slightly as she wavered in and out of consciousness.
00:56:02 Deborah sighed.
00:56:04 "If he can't, he'll have to suffer."
00:56:09 "I don't want to do that either, but when I think about that bastard, someone has to pay.
00:56:15 You two, come, and Neil as well." Deborah glanced at Eileen and Alan.
00:56:22 "I... I won't, Neil. I don't care about that trash and wouldn't care if he was dead," Eileen said with her mouth trembling.
00:56:32 "Is that so?" Deborah chuckled, her expression turning cold.
00:56:38 "But you are related to him. Anyone related to that piece of garbage will be held accountable, guilty by association."
00:56:48 The two of them were forced to kneel on the ground. Deborah looked at the time.
00:56:53 "Three more minutes... two minutes... one minute... thirty seconds... it seems like he won't make it in time."
00:57:08 Deborah sighed as if she was feeling sorry for Claire.
00:57:12 "He has let you down, and I will fulfill my promise."
00:57:18 Deborah grinned viciously as she picked up her dagger and prepared to slash down.
00:57:24 Just then, an unbelievably angry voice rang out from the door.
00:57:29 "Stop! Put your hands up and drop the knife! Stop!"
00:57:36 Deborah sneered and didn't look back. Instead, she gripped her dagger tightly and viciously slashed at Claire's finger.
00:57:45 "You're playing with fire!" Kevin's eyes almost burst out of their sockets.
00:57:51 Deborah's action had ignited all the rage pounding in his chest.
00:57:56 He stood in front of Deborah with a single strike, his iron fist viciously smashing down on her head.
00:58:03 A powerful sense of impending doom surrounded Deborah in the blink of an eye.
00:58:08 Her heart was in turmoil. How could Kevin be so lightning fast?
00:58:14 Deborah rolled away from her original spot as soon as she finished her thought, and she dodged Kevin's deadly punch.
00:58:25 Deborah leaned against the corner of the wall and panted heavily.
00:58:29 Looking at Kevin's cold and emotionless face, she felt a chill run down her spine.
00:58:35 The door was seven to eight feet away, but he would stop her in the blink of an eye.
00:58:41 Kevin's speed was just too fast. If she didn't dodge Kevin's punch just now and had instead chopped down on Charlie's finger with the dagger, it would have cost her her life.
00:58:52 This was the price. Deborah was shocked and angry.
00:58:57 "Just a little bit more. Just a bit more, and she would have died here today!"
00:59:02 How could Kevin be so strong all of a sudden?
00:59:06 After missing Deborah with that punch, Kevin shifted his gaze to Claire.
00:59:11 When he saw Claire's bloodied arm, an insurmountable rage consumed Kevin and filled the entire room.
00:59:18 "Deborah, you will die!"
00:59:23 Kevin's tone was ice cold. He suddenly turned around and stared at Deborah.
00:59:28 His gaze was as though he was going to cut Deborah into a thousand pieces.
00:59:34 Facing Kevin's dangerous gaze, Deborah could not help but shiver inside.
00:59:39 On the surface, however, she did not seem to be afraid at all.
00:59:43 Instead, she mocked Kevin and continued to provoke him.
00:59:48 "Oh, really? Am I playing with fire? Who gave you the guts to say that to me?
00:59:56 Or could it be that after staying in Sacramento for three years, you have forgotten who you are?"
01:00:05 "Why do you want to kill me, Deborah? This is Sacramento, not San Francisco.
01:00:12 Deborah, do you think I'm afraid to kill you?" Kevin shouted with anger in his eyes.
01:00:18 There was no question that Deborah was provoking and infuriating him.
01:00:23 She was hoping to force him into making a mistake.
01:00:26 As long as he could not control his power and made a move today,
01:00:30 there was sufficient reason for the Bennett family to strip him of his power
01:00:35 and even send out the elite forces of the family to suppress him.
01:00:40 Make everything he had done before coming to an end.
01:00:44 "You dare! Kill them all!" Deborah smiled psychotically.
01:00:50 Kevin clenched his fists tightly and suppressed his anger.
01:00:54 Of course, he could kill Deborah with one punch.
01:00:58 But after killing Deborah? The consequences would be too much to bear,
01:01:03 and the Bennett family would endlessly pursue him.
01:01:07 Claire, Alan, Eileen, Jared, River, Harry.
01:01:14 His family and friends would all be killed.
01:01:18 It wasn't that he didn't dare to kill Deborah.
01:01:21 It was that he couldn't. The cost was too high.
01:01:25 Seeing Kevin skillfully control his anger, Deborah couldn't help but feel slightly bitter.
01:01:31 "You bastard! You can handle it as usual.
01:01:36 In our family, you endured for more than ten years,
01:01:41 and when you came to Sacramento, you endured for another three years.
01:01:46 This ability of yours to endure, it's even better than a turtle hiding its head!"
01:01:54 "Are you done?" Kevin took a deep breath.
01:01:57 "What is it? Are you ready for me to leave?" Deborah twisted her words.
01:02:04 Kevin shook his head. "You're overthinking. I won't let you go."
01:02:10 "You won't let me go? Do you want me to stay and take you out for dinner?" Deborah laughed.
01:02:17 "If you think you can win me over, I advise you give up on this idea immediately.
01:02:25 A lowly thing like you is not worthy to cooperate with me."
01:02:31 "Is that so?" Kevin was expressionless.
01:02:35 He said coldly, "I will not cooperate with a cripple."
01:02:40 "What do you mean?" Deborah's expression changed.
01:02:45 She subconsciously tried to retreat.
01:02:48 However, the speed of Kevin's hand was too fast for her to escape.
01:02:53 The next second, Deborah felt her scalp tighten as her vision shifted uncontrollably downwards.
01:03:00 The pattern on the glass tea table grew larger and larger.
01:03:04 With a loud bang, Deborah's face slammed into the glass tea table.
01:03:09 The glass table shattered, and thousands of glass fragments struck Deborah's face.
01:03:16 After a highly shrill scream, Deborah's face was severely mutilated.
01:03:21 "Miss!" The older man's eyes almost popped out of his head as he clenched his fists.
01:03:28 He would never have thought that Kevin would attack Deborah like this without any warning.
01:03:34 And it was so fast that Deborah didn't even have the time to react.
01:03:39 "Kill the bastard!" Deborah screamed crazily, as though she had lost her mind.
01:03:46 The white-robed older man appeared in front of Kevin like a ghost.
01:03:51 He struck out his palm, and a monstrous wave of air rushed towards Kevin.
01:03:56 Kevin's expression turned cold.
01:03:59 Without any hesitation, he punched out at the white-robed older man.
01:04:03 "Boom!"
01:04:05 As the fists and palms collided, the white-robed older man couldn't help but take three steps back with a highly shocked expression.
01:04:13 "You broke through to the last stage of the Dark Force!"
01:04:19 Kevin was aggressive and did not say anything.
01:04:23 If he did not limit his true abilities, he would turn the white-robed older man into a pile of scraps with a single punch.
01:04:31 He only used three-tenths of his strength in that punch just now.
01:04:36 "What?" Deborah was also shocked to the point that she couldn't control herself.
01:04:42 "This bastard broke through to the last stage of Dark Force? How was this possible?"
01:04:49 After sending the white-robed older man flying with a punch, Kevin shifted his gaze towards Deborah.
01:04:56 Deborah trembled as Kevin approached her.
01:04:59 "You can't touch me!" Deborah threatened him.
01:05:03 "Bastard, what are you doing?"
01:05:06 Kevin's performance had wholly exceeded her expectations.
01:05:11 Before coming to Sacramento this time, the family had estimated Kevin's strength to be middle period of the Dark Force stage.
01:05:18 So, they sent out an older man in a white suit, who was in the late stage of Dark Force to follow him, just in case some accident occurred.
01:05:28 But, unexpectedly, this had happened.
01:05:32 Kevin had not only broken through to the last stage of Dark Force, but from the looks of it,
01:05:38 he also belonged to the group of influential people in the late stage of Dark Force.
01:05:44 "Are you scared?" Kevin charged a question.
01:05:48 Deborah acted arrogant and smug to control everything and make herself seem strong.
01:05:54 However, if everything was under her control, Kevin would have died three years ago and wouldn't be here now.
01:06:02 "I'm not afraid! Why should I be?" Deborah was angry and embarrassed.
01:06:10 "You are an illegitimate child, but I am a powerful woman from the Bennett family.
01:06:18 There is a significant difference between the two of us.
01:06:22 Don't even think about killing me. You will certainly be killed if you touch a single strand of hair on my head!"
01:06:31 Deborah threatened crazily.
01:06:34 She did not believe that Kevin would kill her and throw away his plan of having a life with Claire for 20 years or more.
01:06:42 She hoped Kevin would not do such a stupid thing.
01:06:46 "Is that so?"
01:06:48 Kevin took a step forward and stood in front of Deborah.
01:06:52 Deborah panicked and retreated, but she was only at the late stage of Bright Force,
01:06:58 so how could she defend herself against Kevin's attack?
01:07:02 Kevin slapped Deborah's face and sent her flying.
01:07:06 "Uncle Randall, stop him!"
01:07:15 Deborah covered her face, both shocked and annoyed.
01:07:20 "You better not slip and make a mistake!"
01:07:23 Randall bellowed and again rushed forward to stop Kevin with all his might.
01:07:29 Kevin laughed madly and slapped out his palm.
01:07:33 Randall was like a rubber ball as he flew backward and crashed into the wall, cracking the drywall.
01:07:40 Kevin walked over to Deborah and looked down at her condescendingly.
01:07:45 "You said I'll surely die if I touch a single hair on your head? Slap!"
01:07:51 Without waiting for Deborah to speak, Kevin slapped her across the face, causing some teeth to fly out of her mouth.
01:07:59 "Now that I've slapped you, why aren't I dead yet?"
01:08:03 "You bastard! You will die!"
01:08:07 "Slap!"
01:08:08 "I slapped you again. Still, I'm alive. Slap!"
01:08:13 In just one minute, Kevin had slapped Deborah more than 30 times.
01:08:18 Her face was so swollen and misshapen that she looked like a wounded animal that had lost all its teeth.
01:08:26 "Deborah, you bastard! I will kill you! I will kill you!"
01:08:33 Deborah cursed at Kevin crazily with her hair wild around her face.
01:08:38 Kevin shouted, "Kill me? Great! I'll wait for you to kill me!"
01:08:44 "That may be so, but before you kill me, I'll pay you back for what you've done to Claire a hundredfold."
01:08:51 Kevin then stepped on the back of Deborah's hand, stomping down until all the bones were broken.
01:08:58 Deborah screamed like a pig being butchered. Her eyes rolled back in her head, and she fainted from the pain.
01:09:07 Kevin showed no mercy. Instead, he repeated his actions and crippled Deborah's other hand similarly.
01:09:16 After breaking both of Deborah's hands, a trace of coldness flashed across Kevin's eyes.
01:09:23 He channeled his force and heavily kicked Deborah's lower abdomen.
01:09:28 Deborah's life force had been completely shattered, and the energy she had cultivated for more than 20 years was gone instantly.
01:09:37 Kevin had completely crippled Deborah.
01:09:42 To shatter Deborah's life force meant that she would ultimately fade away from the inner circle of the Bennett family in a large family like the Bennett family.
01:09:51 The only way to the top was through one's life force cultivation.
01:09:57 "Evil creature! You evil creature!"
01:10:02 Behind him, the white-robed older man wailed. He had watched Deborah grow up.
01:10:09 Even though she was stubborn and arrogant, he had always loved her dearly.
01:10:14 In his eyes, Deborah was like his daughter. But now, Kevin had completely crippled Deborah in front of him.
01:10:22 It could only be imagined how dark Deborah's life would now be in the Bennett family.
01:10:27 Kevin's method was a thousand times more torturous than just killing her.
01:10:32 "Evil creature! When that pathetic excuse for a woman tortured Claire, did you call her evil?"
01:10:40 Kevin gnashed his teeth.
01:10:43 If he remembered correctly, this white-robed older man was the butler in the second branch of the Bennett family.
01:10:51 Although Randall's position was slightly lower than Trevor and Taylor's, he was still a person who took charge of his own business within the group.
01:11:00 The Bennett family asked him and Deborah to come together for him to supervise Deborah and have Deborah take note of the situation.
01:11:08 However, this older man had been indifferent the entire time while Deborah had tortured Claire.
01:11:15 If he had helped Claire when Deborah was torturing her, things would not have progressed to this point.
01:11:22 "You!"
01:11:25 Randall spat a mouthful of blood as his anger surged in his heart.
01:11:31 He pointed at Claire and roared like thunder.
01:11:34 "How can such a despicable thing compare with the nobility of Deborah?
01:11:40 Even if she had ten thousand lives, she wouldn't be worth as much as a single strand of Deborah's hair.
01:11:47 Slap!"
01:11:49 Kevin hit Randall's face, grabbed his collar, and growled.
01:11:54 "You old thing. Perhaps in your eyes, Deborah is worth more than ten thousand gold coins.
01:12:01 But in your father's eyes, she's nothing.
01:12:04 If she dares to hurt Claire, she should pay the price."
01:12:09 "Kevin, you idiot! Aren't you afraid of the consequences of your reckless behavior here today?"
01:12:17 Before coming to Sacramento, the Bennett family had never thought Kevin would behave this way.
01:12:24 If Kevin had any brains, he would understand what kind of power the Bennett family represented.
01:12:31 One master and two grandmasters.
01:12:35 The Bennett family was a powerful family that two grandmasters dared not to provoke.
01:12:41 Even within the martial alliance, they were a force to be reckoned with.
01:12:46 Deborah's father was one of the top experts in the late period of converting four-stage.
01:12:53 One of the best martial arts masters!
01:12:56 After crippling Deborah, the second branch's rage was not something Kevin could withstand.
01:13:03 "Afraid? I'm not even afraid of death. Are you afraid of your second branch?
01:13:10 If you want to torture and kill me, I invite you to call on your second branch and let them try their best."
01:13:18 He had initially wanted to secretly accumulate his strength, wait for the time to mature, and then fight against the Bennett family head-on.
01:13:27 However, Deborah's sudden appearance disrupted all of his plans.
01:13:32 He couldn't swallow his anger this time.
01:13:35 He had to strike Deborah down.
01:13:37 There was no need to wait any longer.
01:13:40 Even if he faced the entire Bennett family's wrath, he did not care.
01:13:45 Even if he died, it had been worth it.
01:13:49 "This is crazy! Crazy! You evil creature! You are insane!"
01:13:57 Randall was so angry that his entire body was trembling.
01:14:01 He did not expect Kevin to say such outrageous words, to dare to provoke the Bennett family directly.
01:14:09 Did he think that the successor status Harvey had given him granted him a free pass?
01:14:14 "Shut up!" Kevin coldly snorted as he kicked Randall in the chest, sending him flying.
01:14:22 "Go back and tell Deborah's father that if he wants to test my strength, he should come personally.
01:14:28 Sending a weak woman like Deborah was a fatal mistake."
01:14:33 Although Deborah never revealed the valid reason for her visit, Kevin had been fully aware that it was merely a test.
01:14:41 The Bennett family just wanted to probe and see how strong he was right now, and how he felt about the identity of the new successor.
01:14:49 They couldn't figure out Harvey, so they could only focus on themselves.
01:14:55 The Bennett family was divided into 13 groups, and the internal situation was highly complicated.
01:15:02 Harvey was the head of the household, and at the same time, he was the patriarch of the Bennett family.
01:15:09 His position in the Bennett family was equivalent to that of a lord.
01:15:14 No one in the Bennett family would dare refute the decisions he made, or the words he spoke.
01:15:20 Just two months ago, he had set up Kevin's illegitimate son as heir of the Bennett family.
01:15:26 No one from the Bennett family dared to utter a word of disapproval.
01:15:31 But just because they didn't question Harvey, didn't mean they wouldn't confront Kevin.
01:15:37 No matter what, they could not accept that Kevin, the illegitimate child, had become the heir of the Bennett family.
01:15:47 [Music]
01:15:53 If he couldn't accept it, he had to think of a way to stop it.
01:15:58 This was all because of Debra's trip to Sacramento.
01:16:02 Rather than blaming Debra individually, it would be better to blame the entire Bennett family for choosing to start a way against Kevin.
01:16:11 Debra and Randall were dragged outside like two dead dogs by the bodyguards.
01:16:18 Claire had lost consciousness from her confrontation with Debra,
01:16:22 and Alan and Eileen were knocked unconscious after the fight between Kevin and Randall.
01:16:28 Looking at Claire's badly mutilated hands, Kevin felt his heart clench.
01:16:34 He couldn't imagine the level of pain Debra's dagger had caused Claire when it pierced the back of her hand.
01:16:40 Curse the Bennett family!
01:16:43 None of this would have happened if it weren't for the Bennett family.
01:16:47 The debt between him and the Bennett family would be settled sooner or later.
01:16:52 The most important thing right now was to send Claire to the hospital as soon as possible.
01:16:58 If he were too late, Claire's hand would probably be crippled.
01:17:03 Kevin called Martin. Within five minutes, a shiny Rolls Royce appeared at the Beverly Villa entrance.
01:17:10 Martin rushed over with his doctor.
01:17:13 When he pushed open the door, he saw the complete disaster inside.
01:17:19 Martin's pupils constricted, and he instantly turned pale with fear.
01:17:24 "Kevin, what's going on? Who did this?"
01:17:29 "The Bennett family," Kevin said in a deep voice.
01:17:33 Martin was beyond shocked, but didn't show it on the surface.
01:17:37 Instead, he hurriedly apologized.
01:17:40 "Kevin, I was careless. I didn't do any security work."
01:17:46 "Martin, this has nothing to do with you." Kevin shook his head.
01:17:51 Debra was looking for trouble with Claire.
01:17:54 It doesn't matter that Martin didn't recognize that fact because even if he did, Martin would not have been able to stop her.
01:18:02 "Let the doctor bandage Claire first," Kevin sighed.
01:18:07 While Martin's doctor was bandaging Claire, on the other side of the hospital, Debra was also receiving medical treatment.
01:18:15 Compared to Claire, her injuries were much worse.
01:18:19 Not only had her face been disfigured by Kevin, but the bones in her hand were also shattered, and Kevin completely crippled her abdomen.
01:18:29 The hospital in Sacramento could only do some simple treatment for Debra's injuries.
01:18:35 For more extensive medical care, Debra was brought back to the Bennett family's private hospital by private jet.
01:18:43 The news of Debra's injuries spread quickly across the entire Bennett family.
01:18:49 One could imagine what kind of waves this news would create within the Bennett family.
01:18:55 On that same day, Debra's older brother, Dash, had brought the Azure Dragon Guards back from the northern border in the military region.
01:19:05 The remaining 600 people in the Bennett family's second room would also be gathering in San Francisco the next day.
01:19:13 Inside the second room of the Bennett family, dark clouds were covering the sky. A storm was brewing.
01:19:21 No one would have thought that the illegitimate Bennett family child from so far away in Sacramento would do something outrageous.
01:19:29 He had completely disabled Debra. It was simply earth-shattering.
01:19:35 No one could imagine that Kevin dared to do such a thing.
01:19:39 Everyone knew that Debra's father was from the late period of Converting Force stage.
01:19:45 In this era, when a new martial arts grandmaster was not born, the late period of Converting Force stage was the most powerful battle power.
01:19:55 No one dared to go up against a late period of Converting Force stage fighter, but Kevin had done that.
01:20:02 Everyone would be focused on what would happen next.
01:20:05 The decision Bruce made would directly determine Kevin's fate.
01:20:10 At the same time, it would also affect the structure of the entire Bennett family.
01:20:16 Two days later, Claire slowly woke up. The first face that came into view was Eileen's.
01:20:23 "Claire, you're awake."
01:20:27 As Claire woke up, a hint of glee appeared on Eileen's face.
01:20:32 "Mom, where's Kevin?" Claire asked weakly.
01:20:37 She had lost consciousness from the pain after Debra pierced her arm the other day, but she had no idea what had happened.
01:20:45 Eileen's expression changed instantly when she heard the name Kevin.
01:20:50 "Why are you asking about that piece of trash? Don't you think your injuries are reason enough to forget about him?"
01:20:58 "Mom, Kevin is not to be blamed for what happened."
01:21:03 Eileen's tone was filled with disgust and resentment.
01:21:07 In her opinion, her family's injuries were a direct result of their involvement with Kevin.
01:21:13 If it weren't for him, none of this would have happened, and the three would be safe and sound.
01:21:19 "You're still not blaming him?" Eileen's voice became sharp.
01:21:24 "Claire, are you blind? That horrible woman rushed in that day and asked me for him by name.
01:21:32 You're still going to say that this isn't his fault?
01:21:36 Would you hold him responsible if your dad and I had died?"
01:21:40 "Mom..." Claire paused for a second.
01:21:44 She knew what she wanted to say, but decided not to.
01:21:48 Eileen, Alan, and her were all injured because of their association with Kevin.
01:21:54 Indeed, Deborah came for Kevin.
01:21:58 Just then, Kevin carried her breakfast into her room.
01:22:03 "Are you awake?" A forced smile appeared on Kevin's face when Claire woke up.
01:22:08 "Yes," Claire nodded lightly. "Eat some breakfast. You haven't eaten in two days."
01:22:15 Kevin was about to place the breakfast on the table,
01:22:19 but Eileen suddenly stood up and slapped the breakfast bag away with her hand.
01:22:24 Oatmeal and toast were scattered all over the floor.
01:22:28 "What are you doing here? Haven't you caused enough trouble?"
01:22:33 Eileen's face was angry as she pointed at Kevin's nose and cursed.
01:22:38 She did not intend to hold her true feelings back from Kevin.
01:22:42 "Mom, I already said that I don't blame him." Claire panicked.
01:22:48 "Shut up!" Eileen turned around and looked coldly at Claire.
01:22:53 Then, she shifted her gaze to Kevin.
01:22:56 "You have to give me an explanation for this whole ordeal.
01:23:01 Who exactly was that woman who attacked us? Why was she after you?"
01:23:07 "Her name is Deborah," pausing for a moment, Kevin continued.
01:23:12 "The reason she is coming after me is because she has an old grudge against me."
01:23:18 "What grudge?" Eileen was overbearing.
01:23:22 Kevin frowned.
01:23:24 "Mom, it's a very long story, and I don't have time to explain it right now.
01:23:30 If there's a chance in the future, I will explain it all to you."
01:23:35 "No, I want to know now!"
01:23:39 "If you tell me the truth, you can go to the city courthouse today and get married to Claire.
01:23:45 Don't even think about the future!" Eileen refused to give up.
01:23:50 Deborah had left a shadow in her heart, and she must know her whole story now.
01:23:56 Otherwise, she would not be able to sleep peacefully.
01:24:00 "Mom, can you just stop?" Claire yelled impatiently.
01:24:05 "What do you mean, stop?" Eileen yelled.
01:24:08 "Do you know how many things this man has hidden from you?
01:24:13 It's one thing for him to be secretly looking for a woman behind your back,
01:24:17 but now you're making enemies everywhere!"
01:24:20 "Because of him, everyone wants to find us and kill us.
01:24:25 How can I not ask why?"
01:24:28 "I have to know! I don't even know why I almost died!" Eileen said, flustered and exasperated.
01:24:40 "All right, Mom. First, you go outside. Kevin and I will talk alone.
01:24:46 When we get to the bottom of it, I'll tell you everything."
01:24:50 Eileen's cowardice had long been carved into her bones.
01:24:54 As long as it was a matter that involved her own life, it would be important.
01:24:59 "All right, then I'll go. Ask away." Eileen warned Claire.
01:25:05 She was so clear that Kevin would not say anything if she continued pestering him.
01:25:12 On the other hand, Claire might be able to get something out of him that Eileen couldn't.
01:25:18 After Eileen left the room, Claire paused for a moment before asking,
01:25:23 "Is it someone from the Bennett family?"
01:25:26 "Yes, she's my second uncle's daughter."
01:25:30 "Why would she want to cause you trouble?"
01:25:35 "Kevin was the heir to the Bennett family, and logically speaking,
01:25:39 his position in the Bennett family should be on a pedestal,
01:25:42 similar to Jack's position in the Wright family.
01:25:45 However, looking at Deborah's expression, she did not respect Kevin at all."
01:25:52 "Because I'm an illegitimate child," Kevin sighed.
01:25:56 He didn't hide anything and told her the truth.
01:25:59 He didn't know much about the feud between his mother, Sue, and his father, Bruno.
01:26:05 However, people from the Bennett family occasionally mentioned it.
01:26:10 In Bruno's previous life, he brought Sue to meet his family once
01:26:15 and declared in front of his father, Jameson, that he would never marry anyone other than Sue.
01:26:21 In the end, his legs were broken by Jameson.
01:26:25 Sue was also kicked out of the Bennett family.
01:26:29 On the second day after Sue left the Bennett family,
01:26:32 Jameson told Bruno about an arranged marriage between him and a princess of Rosemont.
01:26:38 Harvey originally wanted to reject him outright and threaten him with death,
01:26:43 but Jameson made it clear that if he didn't go through with the marriage,
01:26:47 he would have Sue killed.
01:26:50 After Bruno and the princess married,
01:26:53 everyone thought Sue would never be seen again in the Bennett family.
01:26:57 However, three years later, Sue came back.
01:27:01 She also brought a three-year-old child with her.
01:27:04 That child was Kevin.
01:27:07 Kevin's appearance caused the Bennett family to sink into turmoil once again.
01:27:12 The Bennett family had a rare disagreement about Kevin's survival.
01:27:17 A portion of the Bennett family believed Kevin should stay within the Bennett family.
01:27:22 If Kevin were to remain outside,
01:27:24 the Bennett family would suffer from a lot of gossip as a child born out of wedlock.
01:27:30 After all, Kevin had the noble blood of the Bennett family flowing through his body.
01:27:36 The other part of the family thought Kevin should be kicked out of the Bennett family altogether.
01:27:41 They believed that the stigma of an illegitimate child like Kevin
01:27:45 would sully the Bennett family's reputation.
01:27:49 The two sacks were at odds because of this matter,
01:27:53 and in the end, Jameson had to decide.
01:27:56 Stay!
01:27:58 Kevin could normally enjoy all the benefits and resources
01:28:02 a typical Bennett family child should have,
01:28:05 but he could not reveal that he was a true Bennett family member.
01:28:09 Naturally, no one in the family dared to oppose Jameson's decision on the matter.
01:28:14 But towards Sue and Kevin privately,
01:28:18 the rest of the family members would not show them any respect or courtesy.
01:28:23 Two years ago, when Bruno was around,
01:28:26 the Bennett family would restrain themselves.
01:28:29 Even if they hated Sue and Kevin,
01:28:32 the Bennett family wouldn't display it too obviously.
01:28:35 However, after two years, when Bruno mysteriously disappeared,
01:28:40 everyone in the Bennett family changed their attitude.
01:28:43 They were extremely troubled by Sue and Kevin,
01:28:46 and not only did they cut off their resources,
01:28:49 they even sent Sue and Kevin to where the Bennett family's servants lived.
01:28:54 Kevin stayed in that environment,
01:28:57 on the fringes of the Bennett family, for 15 years.
01:29:01 If not for the fact that Sue had died of illness three years ago,
01:29:05 he might have still been there.
01:29:07 Kevin said it casually, but when Claire heard his story,
01:29:11 her heart ached like never before.
01:29:14 She didn't expect Kevin to have such a dark past.
01:29:17 In such a large and powerful family like the Bennett family,
01:29:21 she could only imagine what kind of unkind words
01:29:24 an illegitimate child or single mother would receive.
01:29:28 But even so, Kevin still endured.
01:29:31 At this moment, Claire suddenly understood
01:29:34 why Kevin had never mentioned the Bennett family to her in the past.
01:29:39 He wasn't the heir of the Bennett family at all.
01:29:43 To him, the heir of the Bennett family was just a conspiracy.
01:29:47 "Why did Harvey let you be the heir of the Bennett family?
01:29:52 What on earth makes him want to do that?"
01:29:55 Claire could not help but ask.
01:29:57 Harvey had a leading position in the Bennett family,
01:30:00 so he definitely would not put the title of heir of the Bennett family for no reason.
01:30:06 Kevin shook his head with a bitter smile.
01:30:09 "If I told you I don't know, would you believe me?"
01:30:14 "I do!" Claire was resolute.
01:30:17 Kevin sighed.
01:30:19 "Actually, I can probably guess a little.
01:30:23 The reason why Harvey called me the heir of the Bennett family
01:30:26 is probably because of that cheap father of mine."
01:30:29 "Bruno?" Claire frowned.
01:30:32 "Yes." Kevin nodded his head.
01:30:35 "He mysteriously disappeared when I was five.
01:30:38 No one in the Bennett family knows where he went.
01:30:41 No one knows where he went or what he did.
01:30:45 The only thing I know is that he holds a very high position within the Bennett family.
01:30:51 From the younger generation of the Bennett family,
01:30:53 his achievement was the highest and most profound.
01:30:57 Even Harvey couldn't compare to him back then.
01:31:00 This time, Harvey suddenly named me as the heir of the Bennett family.
01:31:05 It should be related to him.
01:31:07 Besides him, I can't think of any other reason."
01:31:11 Kevin said with a complicated expression.
01:31:14 For Harvey, it was impossible not to blame him.
01:31:18 After all, Harvey did not do what a father should have done.
01:31:22 However, Kevin knew very well that Bruno could not have done better
01:31:27 under the circumstances back then.
01:31:29 If he hadn't married the princess, Sue wouldn't have lived another day,
01:31:34 and naturally, Kevin wouldn't be here now.
01:31:38 "Then what should you do now?"
01:31:40 Kevin's words were not detailed,
01:31:42 but she could understand that other than Harvey,
01:31:45 whose attitude was uncertain,
01:31:47 everyone else treated Kevin as a thorn in their side.
01:31:51 They would not allow Kevin, an illegitimate child,
01:31:54 to control the Bennett family.
01:31:57 Therefore, sooner or later, they would eliminate him.
01:32:02 "Don't worry. The Bennett family won't make a move against me right now."
01:32:06 Kevin smiled slightly.
01:32:08 It had already been two days since Deborah was wounded,
01:32:12 but in those days, there was no single sound from the Bennett family.
01:32:17 Either they were accumulating their power, waiting to deal a fatal blow,
01:32:21 or they were waiting for Harvey to speak.
01:32:24 They wouldn't dare to do anything to him if Harvey didn't.
01:32:28 Kevin guessed that the latter possibly would be more likely.
01:32:33 Because Harvey's position in the Bennett family was very high,
01:32:36 even Bruce had to be afraid.
01:32:39 Bruce did not dare to make a move on him
01:32:42 before he clearly understood Harvey's intentions.
01:32:45 "Yes," Claire nodded lightly.
01:32:48 But a strong feeling of powerlessness arose in her heart.
01:32:52 Now, she realized that she was becoming more and more useless.
01:32:57 Every time something happened to Kevin, she could not help him.
01:33:01 It was fine if she couldn't help Kevin,
01:33:04 but sometimes she would even hinder Kevin and distract his energy.
01:33:09 (upbeat music)
